Attempted by 2 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
Sound words identify a sound by the way it is produced or commonly heard. Bells are conventionally described with words such as chime, jingle, and ring.
Application
Chime, jingle, and ring each name a sound that a bell can make. Dang is ordinarily an interjection expressing annoyance or surprise, not a conventional bell-sound word.
Contrast
Chime: a clear, musical sound made by a bell.
Jingle: a light succession of ringing sounds, often made by small bells.
Ring: the resonant sound produced when a bell vibrates.
Dang: an exclamation used to express annoyance or surprise.
Therefore, the word not associated with a bell’s sound is “Dang”.
